Pete Davidson's face is radiant with boundless joy as he eagerly anticipates the arrival of his very first child with his beloved girlfriend, Elsie Hewitt. At the glittering New York City premiere of his latest film, The Home, the 31-year-old comedian overflowed with excitement, proclaiming, "I am incredibly fortunate and over the moon with happiness." These remarks mark Davidson's first public statements since Hewitt joyously announced their pregnancy on July 16th.
The comedian opened up about how becoming a father is a lifelong aspiration he is eagerly poised to fulfill. "I am eagerly anticipating the opportunity to nurture and provide a childhood that I myself did not experience," he revealed, his eyes twinkling with anticipation. "I suppose you strive to give your child everything you lacked, and avoid repeating what you didn't appreciate." His close-knit circle, including Adam Sandler, has rallied around him with unwavering support and invaluable advice.
"Everyone has been incredibly thrilled for me, knowing that this has been a dream of mine," Davidson shared, a broad smile spreading across his face. "They've all been saying, 'You're going to excel at this. It's the most wonderful thing you'll ever do in your life.'"
Meanwhile, Hewitt, 29, announced their bundle of joy with a playful Instagram post featuring a sonogram image, captioning it whimsically, "Well, now everyone knows we had some fun!" According to insiders, the couple is absolutely thrilled about embarking on this new journey together. "They are both incredibly nurturing souls, deeply happy in their relationship, and overjoyed to be starting a family," a source confided to People magazine.
Davidson's path to fatherhood holds a special significance, given the challenges he faced during his own childhood following the tragic loss of his father, firefighter Scott Davidson, in the 9/11 attacks.
